The Brooklyn Nets currently have two All-Star point guards, three-timer Ben Simmons and one-timer D’Angelo Russell, but both are lost a lot of luster and their twinkle has faded. Indeed, it seems unlikely both will be back. So with no real backup and no one under contract — unless you count two-way Reece Beekman, it shouldn’t surprise when NBA draftniks, the authors of the big mock drafts, think Brooklyn should be thinking PG at the end of June.
All the caveats apply to mocks this early: there’s a lottery in mid-May that will determine draft order in late June.
